The guy is a freakin' powerhouse. What a groove. He's so creative, too.....it's not like "I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING SUPER FLASHY," he's just a solid, solid drummer. Awesome.

he knows he wont catch the stick back. and he doesn't give a shit! i love him

I could listen to Chad forever, so tight and loose at the same time. Brilliant.

his fills are always so clean and never too complex but sounds awesome!

How he plays on hi-hat at 02:40 and 02:47 are incredible..... and Every movement he takes is extremely sophisticated.

1:40 is the coolest thing ever

I really enjoy his drumming and the fact that he seems to be genuinely happy about how lucky he is.

I can't stop watching this. it's just incredible. that fill at 2:14... and from 2:30... and he makes it all look so easy.

Chad's groove is super effective, the mic fainted.

Without a doubt one of the best rock/funk drummers ever.

That snare drum sound makes me happy.

Nothing better than grooving on a ride while ghost noting on the snare.

Chad Smith is one THE great drummers of our time. Tell your friends.

Best drummer alive

Damn I must've listened to this song 100 times without ever considering how technical the drums are, until I watched this.

Chad is the best.I love his power and passion.

3:26 *faints from eargasm*

ive never seen a drummer so focused and intense in his playing. So much energy it blows you away.

I have watched this at least 50 times. this guy owns

I fucking love chad smiths style! its fucking awesome how well he flows with that kit. definitly a drum legend! Chad Smith fucking rules

Never really liked RHCP (only a few songs though), but I have always admired Chad Smith's playing style. Truly inspirational

He is so powerful and with a perfect technique at the same time, that's so amazing!

Chad Smith has so much feel and has some of the best grooves.

2:42 love that splash + snare sound.

good band great drummer

I first watched this when I was 17. And it blew my mind then as it still does now.

I was the same age when I first saw this in 2007. I'm still coming back once in a while to watch this amazing performance - it seems like he is playing on butter. Chad is my idol and my favorite drummer on Earth.

I love how he is always on the groove, making it lok so simple and complicated at the same time.

3:29. His drumming was so epic that a microphone stand fell down.

This guy eats drums for breakfast!

his style can be so straight forward but totally unique and creative at the same time. awesome

Anyone else stoked about the new album coming out in August? Chad is aboslutely one of the best grooving drummers ever.

power + groove = Chad Smith!

How to improvise live with 0 fucks given.

Chad's style is just ridiculous good. He's got a fluid, yet almost impreciseness to his movements. Though he always plays his notes right where he means to. He's got such a laidback feel to his playing but when he goes nuts it still grooves hard man. Such a unique style it's crazy.

its almost as if he subconsciously has the song in his head but is just just jamming over the top of it, I love him!

Am I the only one who wants to see how bad he'd destroy poorly-built equipment? Great advertisement for Pearl and Sabian durability right here.

in my opinion the best drummer in the world today (IN MY OPINION!) i love the way he can write and recored songs so simply and then when i comes to playing it live can just spice it up yet keeping the exact simplicity at the same time some how. plus hes a powerhouse on the drums, gotta love that

straight from heart. this is real music.

Holy Fuck! no matter how many times I watch this I am blown away! I'm an 80's kid and everyone would go on about neil pert of rush but honestly I think hes boring compared to Chad.

Great power, speed, feel, and groove all put together! If I tried to play just like this, I would hurt myself. Hopefully, I will be able to play this well with a few decades of experience.

The height at which he plays looks so uncomfortable but I guess it's always the same, maybe it's amazing for him to sit like that haha

You don't even need to listen to this, just watching him play is a joy!

Chad Smith is an awesome drummer! And one of the many bad-ass and talented artists to come out of Detroit.

that snare sounds just perfect

Funky Monk! Chad is a Midwestern drummer as I am! Midwestern drummers are rock solid in the pocket, hard rocking heart and balls style drummers! I myself was spoonfed Mowtown, R&B, Funk, Soul, Rock, Latin Jazz and Blues! Shout out to all my pocket playing backbone conductors out there! 💪🥁👍

Just GREAT!

simply amazing

i wanna get this to a million!!!

holy shit, does he play a FULL concert like that?! DAM. that was a BEAST mode being shredded to bits.

Chad smith remains an idol

chad is hands down one of the best (or best) funk rock/alternative drummers eva!!!

The Guy is incredible! Love his playing.

Feel proud to have been there!

I am always amazed at the ease with which chad smith kicks the drum's ass.

man Chad is definitely in my top drummers of all-time he is such a beast and this video is a good example of his beastliness...definitely a big influence for me and my own drumming

chad smith looks as smooth as his grooves sound when playing.

Love this drummer

Chad is a legend!

Absolutely legendary

I love his style !

legand! i casually met chad at my music collage today. he came in at the end on my drum class and spoke to us for half and hour and jammed out a few beats!

Chad Smith ha ido evolucionando... aprendio mucho estos ultimos años
